(July 29 1849 - March 22 1921) was an English-born, German artist, illustrator and mountain climber. He is well-known for his paintings and drawings of alpine scenery, and as a mountaineer made 300 major ascents including no fewer than 27 first ascents. Compton was born in Stoke Newington in London, the son of Theodore Compton, an art-loving insurance agent, and grew up in a deeply religious Quaker household. He attended various art schools, including, for a time, the Royal Academy in London, but otherwise he was mainly self-taught in art.   Related Paintings of Edward Theodore Compton :. | Martyrdom of St Agatha | Portrait of Sophia Alexandrovna Radziwill | Portrait of Guillaume Jouvenel des Ursins | The Transfiguration | Mary Magdalen in Penitence |
